Der Lang Verborgene Freund, or The Long-Lost Friend, is perhaps the most
influential and wellknown of all the grimoires to originate in the New
World. Originally published in Reading, Pennsylvania, circa 1820, it has
become an international bestseller.

Llewellyn is pleased to
present the most complete, accurate, and accessible version of this
hard-to-find classic book of magic. Edited and annotated by magic
scholar Daniel Harms, it features approximately one hundred recipes not
available in any version of the text available now. It includes both the
German text from 1820 and the English translation of 1856, with notes
on variations with Hohman's translations in 1846 and 1863. In addition,
the text includes an introduction providing the book's background and
position in history, additional charms taken from the pirated 1837
Skippacksville edition, and a set of indices for general purposes,
ingredients, and purposes of particular recipes.
